Who should be the next female Captain?

[borgslayer]

Who are your picks?

[Ziona]

I don't know who... but none of those actresses would be my first choice.

[Lynx]

Jennifer Lien as Kes.

[8 of 9]

i vote for Jeri Ryan ( 7 of 9 ) my other in my collective. lol

[Cathexis]

Erm.............none of the above are realistic...and by that I mean none of the above mentioned in previous POSTS.

Then again, I don't think any of the poll choices are all that realistic either.......we don't even know if there's going to BE a next series.....if there is one coming, I doubt they'll go with ANOTHER female lead....although I HEART JANEWAY VERY MUCH, so don't get me wrong on the producers' idea to go with a female for VOY.

Anyway....IF they do.....which I doubt very much....

I think they should get someone like Susanna Thompson....someone we're already slightly familiar with, not overly so...

[Leo Wyatt]

I say Gates ... She is cool

[MakeItSo]

I'd say Glenn Close because she's a damn good actress. It's either her or Gates McFadden, or possibly another actress.

[AlwaysBorg]

Maybe Gates McFadden or Glenn Close (good actress) but Jeri Ryan is another option...I think...

[Balli_Hie]

Why not B'lana? I think she would kick ass and take names later....how cool would that be!

[Enterprisim]

Another actoress because then they'd do a few eps about her then involve some twist, just to make it worth watching

[MakeItSo]

[Dirt]

I think it should be a dude. It's sci-fi, but face it, they gotta keep a sense of realism!

[5thhouse]

If those are my choices then I say it's between Gates McFadden and Glen Close. If it is Gates McFadden though she would obviously have to be a promoted Dr. Crusher for it to work.

[Vincent]

I voted for other :Belanna Torres (She would get the job done)

[robbiewebster]

Gates McFadden

[WookieOnRitalin]

I'm not on board with McFadden. She just does not have enough authoritative presence in the series or as an actress to really sell me on the idea of her being a Captain.

The next captain has got to be able to do action. I was listening to that recent interview with Garret Wang about how they never had Janeway do any action sequences because Mulgrew can't run or do action. I cannot honestly believe that McFadden would be able to do that. In part, that is why I don't like TNG as much as I used to. Stewart was so stoic as a Captain and definately not the rebellious take action, beam to the surface, always in another jam captain that Kirk was. In a sense, Janeway was written as more of that "type" of Captain, but Mulgrew's limitations hurt that progressing farther.

So if we're going to have a female Captain, let's get someone who can do the action and show plenty of authority as an actress.

My pick would be Milla Jovovich, but she would never do Trek...I don't think.

[~Voyager Fanatic~]

I'd vote for Gates McFadden

[ilikefire208]

i said gates, but at the same time she technically has already been a captain just something to think about

[~Voyager Fanatic~]

[Federation G-Force5]

I think troi should be the next captain, she has had experience aboard the enterprise-d , and has captain riker to give her more pointers and instruction as time goes along.


(Troi) has my vote

[nightwolf]

I agree, b'elanna or troi should be the next female captain

But i think troi would want to stay with will riker on the titan as would b'elanna with tom paris, the next female captain,(if there is one) will be someone that we dont know much of.

[Ship_Desingz]

B'lanna torres would be a good captain i think i dont know how Gates Mcfadden can be the captain of a ship since she is a doc an all.
